Considering that the its the same author of Inuyasha, I'm thinking it would be somewhat more popular in the states. It was one of my first animes. I'm not even sure if I finished it. Yet, from what I remember it was a good series allthough, a little bit dry at parts.

I did indeed enjoy the series while back when I was young. This show is funny and addicting. Though I have yet to finish all of its TV series, I would say that it is one of my favorite classic anime/manga series, next to Dragon Ball Z and Yu Yu Hakusho.

I just love how the characters has each of their own unique transformation, it just made the show even more entertaining as seeing Ranma switching back and worth into his male/female forms.

Now that you remind me of it, I haven't seen it for years... I might re-watch it some time soon.

I read the mangas a few years back. It was amusing, though I developed a strong dislike of Akane.

Actually now that I think about it, the first fanfiction I ever read was a Ranma fanfic. So yeah, other than Dragonball Z, I'd say Ranma 1/2 was one of the first animes/manga I'd ever read/watched so it holds a special twisted place in my heart.

Me too. I'm glad people here have heard of and have even loved Ranma. It's a great show. I didn't hear of it until I was in high school. An artist friend of mine who also drew anime introduced me to it (in addition to Fatal Fury, and the Lodoss Wars).

I absolutely LOVE it. I have a number of episodes (english dub) on VHS and watch them from time to time.

...when i was little i used to see it and liked it a lot! i started rewatching it some months ago..but then it started to get bored...its seemed very repetitive...sometimes i felt i was seeing the same episode over and over again

I watched it when i was a kid. I remember my mom not letting me because it was too perverted! I still read the manga and I think it's pretty good. I guess I can also say I got into Inuyasha because of this anime.
